I went to check it out and it looks good. I was thinking about what kind of bible study we could do as a family that isn't too mushy and "story time"-like. Something with "substance" but can be discussed with smaller children too... <br /><br />Also, I love love love Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. My daughter is almost done with it and she is 4 1/2. She loves it! When she completes it, we'll throw her a party (just our immediate family and a couple close friends) and give her her very own KJV! I am so excited!

I want to get Dave Ramsey's homeschool curriculum (for next year), but this is a way to get them thinking about the workforce...you don't 'work' you don't get paid. Learn to save, tithe, and spend wisely. :)Jessica S.http://motherofaction.blogspot.com/2011/04/our-curriculum-for-sy-2011-2012.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229295722544456478.post-18426114756817107732011-08-01T16:00:25.156-07:002011-08-01T16:00:25.156-07:00@Sharla...there isn't a whole lot of prep time...@Sharla...there isn't a whole lot of prep time if you purchase a lab kit. Otherwise, you have to find the materials yourself. (Hint)there is a pre-made list of materials ready for you and/or use Donnayoung.org (Click on Apologia Science) --even breaks down each book/lessons for you. I do believe it's adaptable for teaching as a group. That's why I do like it. Eventhough I get two different books for my boys...I find them sharing their knowledge with each other. Each lesson is how much you want to read. We usually read 3-4 pages per day; plus go over review questions/projects. Hope this helps! :) Happy Homeschooling. *Some people don't like Apologia -for some reason (content/textbook-like), but we do enjoy it.Jessica S.http://motherofaction.blogspot.com/2011/04/our-curriculum-for-sy-2011-2012.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229295722544456478.post-3524341627313525202011-08-01T15:12:33.636-07:002011-08-01T15:12:33.636-07:00It seems like I am hearing positive things about A...It seems like I am hearing positive things about Apologia Science at every turn and I am leaning towards it for that reason, though I have never actually seen it. How much prep. time does it take for you? How long are the lessons? Is it easily adaptable for multiple ages at once? Any advice you could give me would be appreciated.
